This is how you automate, test, OVER and over : http://www.catchpoint.com/

Please don't use 'Monitis' and think that's near fucking accurate.

You need Catchpoint. They are expensive, but you can query, ping, traceroute not only from more locations than you ever could, but they have Mobile clients too (Test from TELUS Canada) - 1k/mo entering door fee, but then unlimited 'realtime' tests from their looking glass.

Ignore their crappy trend graphs, %, you want to tune your network 'apparently' - Sure you can go to pulse.turbobytes.com if you want a good idea, but you will always have some less than optimal routes or sink-holes this way.

Please don't de-balance your fancy expensive domain with taking a few monitoring locations on backbones as gospel.

How about end users, ones on ISPs, mobile clients, clients on single homed shitty bandwidth, etc.

You can't advertise those numbers and not expect to be laughed at when someone's getting 20ms from US ISP.

Good response. And what about using Digital Experience Monitoring tools like [removed] to measure the holistic end-user experience?

I'd suggest fixing your wordpress site (hint: no CDN needed)

1. You should be using TLS 1.3 with X25519 (fast cipher)
2. Upgrade your version of NGINX (you're using 1.16 --> move to 1.22 or 1.23)
3. Install Varnish and use REDIS for caching (your TTFB from the US was over 300ms)

So much more, but the basics need to be there before a CDN can be considered.
